Any noise with engine running, bike stationery?,Did you replace speed rota sensor on front wheel,Spin wheels check brake calipers aren't seized on , chain to slack/tight or seized links, remove front sprocket cover check front nut & clean out any crap build up.
deffo the speedo drive take it out and re grease it be careful to put it back in properly or the lugs will break off
Hi guysThanks so much for all your help and suggestions so far, I got in contact with the garage who did the work for me and showed them the camera footage, they have apologised for what they believe is an error when installing the speedo sensor, they are wanting the bike back in next friday to have a look at the speedo sensor and hopefully to put it in correctly.Thank again for all your help guys hopefully it turns out just to be the speedo sensor
Hi allBit of an update, the front wheel was taken off today and the speed sensor was put in correctly and had a lot of grease around it and so the mechanic believes it should be working fine and not causing the noise. He did however replace my front wheel bearing as the one in the bike had a lot of play in it which he believes could be causing the noise. He put the bike back together and I went for a ride and success the noise has disappeared but now my speedo is back to playing up, the needle just jumps all over the place, it'll show the speed I'm going for a second then drop, then rise then drop again etc, however the new speedo sensor looks fine and so I was wondering could this possibly be the speedo cable playing up?Hope someone can give some insight?

If the speedo was working fine before today before the work was done then they have either put it back wrong or snapped the lugs off the rota on reassembly.

If I can find one I will buy one and probably buy another rotor sensor just to be on the safe side.
